Sand Flat Farm Artist Studio

Okay my peeps - my husband has been trying to get me to do this for quite some time, so I'm gonna take a stab at it.

A few years ago, I was in an online art gallery, and I still have giclee prints from several of my original oil paintings.  I have been trying to get some good quality photos of them so I could put the giclees in an Etsy shop.  I'm attempting to do this so bear with  me. It's taken me 2 hrs tonight to get one photo on there.  I'm technologically challenged. I needed my daughter or son here to help me, but they were unavailable so I winged it. (or wunged it - whatever)

I will be adding more giclees to my shop as time allows as well as trying to do some new original smaller items.   I do all my painting in oils and occasionally acrylics.  Sometimes I'll throw in a watercolor with some pen and ink.   Giclee is simply a fancy French word for reproductions or quality prints on canvas.  They look like originals in other words.  The online gallery closed down and I've been thinking of what else I could do with them, so Tony volunteered me for Etsy.  So here we go.

You can see a few of my paintings down on the bottom right of my sidebar.  Now that I've advertised that I'm doing this, I'll have to follow through with it.  Here's my link - Sand Flat Farm Artist Studio.  You all can hold me accountable. I simply HAVE to get back painting.  I NEED to do it, even if it's only for ME.  So, take a look, enjoy, no strings attached!

EDITED TO ADD:  Giclee is pronounced "Zhe-clay".  Also, I will be posting new photos on the etsy shop of my works. The one on there right now is a "make-do". Probably shouldn't have used it until I've got the good ones...
